As we mentioned earlier in the week, we have not seen winter weather for several weeks, but the cold has certainly returned. Our temperatures stayed in the teens all day and dropped below 0ºF (-18C) at sunset.
Now where would you find rough and tumble sled dogs basking in the cold weather? We have no idea where they might be, but we sure know where we were.
Yes, we know that our cousins would consider this a heat wave, but Hu-dad says he can get so much work done with us all under his feet. Or was that it is hard to get things done with us all under his feet?
Oh, sure, we had to get the Hu-dad to let us out to inspect things every few minutes, but then we would come right back in.
In particular, when the snow started flying, we had to rush out to check on things. Unfortunately, the snow was never heavy enough to really pile up anywhere (you can even still see our grass sticking up), so that was disappointing.
The good news is today is supposed to be even colder. Oh, wait, without snow that really isn’t better news.
So, we will just ask Hu-dad to keep the fire well stocked and rest up for whenever the snows finally return.

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.

His books pay for our food!
Always good memories. It’s interesting to see how many followers are still here. (Just reading about cold and snow during a heat wave is welcomed.)
So good to see these memories! Ty looks so little !! Snow would be welcome this winter ❄️
Hope we don’t have to wait until January for the cold.. Bring it on says Miss Ruby. Such a tough life!!
Those poor doggies. SUCH a rough life back then!. Talking about cold weather now makes me want to see some-sick of the heat here!
I understand letting dogs out Eleventy-seven bazillion times!!! One comes in-one goes out and repeat although we only have two!!!
Feel free to come visit here! We’ve got plenty of snow, and plenty of cold air to go with it!
I would go crazy without the dog door. Sometimes I tell the dog door that I love it. It’s the greatest invention EVER.
Blueberry doesn’t like the cold or the snow – but then again, she doesn’t have those beautiful coats like your herd that are just BUILT for it! Hope the snow comes for you soon! We are enjoying our 70 degrees here.
The waiting is the terrible part! I think that’s why they keep going out to check – just in case!

Mom sez: Eleventy-seven bazillion times? Is that all? The Iceman can have us opening and closing the door at least half that many times a day, and there’s only ONE of him!
